Note 127.0.0.4 indicates a manual listing -- it doesn't indicate that
the relay 139.134.5.153 has been tested and found to be promiscuous.
$ dig txt 153.5.134.139.relays.orbs.org | grep TXT
;; 153.5.134.139.relays.orbs.org, type =3D TXT, class =3D IN
153.5.134.139.relays.orbs.org. 86400 TXT "Telstra and \
Optus - spam haveners, refusing to act. "
Highly unscientific research seems to indicate that it's the manual
entries that cause the bulk of the false positives when testing for
spam using the relays.orbs.org zone.
(What's a "havener"? :)
